The casino profits frequently benefit a select few who are a part of the club, and then the club doesn't let anyone else in, keeping the profits for themselves. Even if you can show you have 100% native ancestry of your given tribe, it is not a given that you will be allowed to officially become part of the tribe.
- steego 5y agoHonestly, it just sounds like you’re hand waving the same old line. I’d love to see a citation or two. My wife’s band settled a huge land claim not too far back. This land claim resulted in a cash payout to all 3000 band members and the rest of the money was put into a trust.
- oh_sigh 5y agoHow many members are there of Shakopee Mdewakanton? How many would like to claim membership based on their heritage, even discounting the $X00,000/month check that each member gets?
- steego 5y agoThere appears to be between 400-600 some members and from what I’ve read, it seems like all the members are receiving a nice share of revenue. How many would like to claim membership? I don’t know, you tell me. It seems like their membership grew, so I would guess people have claimed membership based on their heritage and that their membership was honored. Do you have any specific information you can provide or is it all hand-waving and rhetorical questions?
